Lacanianism

On the other hand, the precise nature of Zizek's Marxism has always been more difficult to fathom, while his thoroughgoing Lacanianism appears to rule out the possibility of any orthodox ‘understanding’ of Marxism, or, indeed, the formulation of a clearly identifiable political project.

The theoretical work of Slavoj Zizek has been, and continues to be, harshly criticized for its two nominal presuppositions - its odd mixture of Lacanianism and Leninist Marxism.

There is no mistaking the breadth of his ambition, and his explicit project of bringing together Lacanianism and Marxism insists on something deeper than polemic and aside.
